professional literature guides written bya master teacher. Available while our supply

*Language Alert:
This book contains one instance of a character using Christ's name
in cursing and one vulgarity written by a child. This
Is Just to Say brings a message of apology and forgiveness, very
important in this world, but includes two words that we wouldn't allow
to be said in our classroom. It is disappointing that this award-winning
book would model a vulgarity and the use of the name of Christ in
cursing for our children. (We don't expect all children to be Christians,
but we do expect all children to respect the sacred names in all religions.)
We believe it is time to respect our children in all areas of their
lives, including their literature. Then, perhaps, they will learn,
by example, to show adults similar respect. We are grateful to authors
who choose to use finesse in their descriptions of cursing
and leave the exact words to the readers' experience and
imaginations. "Children
learn what they live."*
